Ep 31: Breaking Into Elite Rooms
Show Notes
Lance Bennett, Senior Coach and Engagement Lead at Management Leadership for Tomorrow (MLT) and founder of L.E.B. Partners, joins Ehis to discuss how to break into elite rooms without becoming someone else. Drawing from his journey across banking, admissions, leadership development, MLT, and Kellogg, Lance shares how underrepresented and nontraditional professionals can make their value visible, navigate unwritten rules, and stay grounded in their values.
This episode explores mentorship, belonging, MBA admissions, the PIE framework of performance, image, and exposure, and why the goal is not only to enter elite rooms, but to create rooms of our own.
